translated from Spanish: IMUJERIS reminds morelians that their emergency lines will remain active

Morelia, Michoacán.- In order to provide punctual care to women who suffer from some form of violence during the period of isolation to prevent COVID-19, the Municipal Women’s Institute for Substantive Equality (IMUJERIS), maintains legal counseling and psychological care services, through the Specialized Emergency Lines.
Since the end of March, the municipal unit made available to the morelians three telephone numbers, to call, or if for some circumstances they cannot make the call, send a text message or WhatsApp, so that they can be answered by IMUJERIS staff.
The director of the Institute, Concepción Torres Zaragoza, stated that, in this period of confinement, it is necessary to strengthen measures of attention and prevention to gender-based violence, so it was determined that the lines are open seven days a week and 24 hours a day.
He detailed that, to each of the users who have required the services of IMUJERIS, the specialized staff has given timely attention, so he called on the Mullians who require them to report any action that violates their integrity.

The telephone numbers you can call, message or WhatsApp, to receive legal advice are: (443) 731-92-35 and (443) 285-04-07, and for psychological care: (443) 300-14-19. In this contingency, IMUJERIS is with you.
